Russian-Jordanian Weapon a Threat to US Security

[Nishan]

The Russian-Jordanian Hashim RPG-32 rocket launcher system is considered a threat to US Security and it was listed by the US Army as part of its intelligence brief on 'Asymmetrical Threats to Current and Future US Forces'.

Back in 2006, Jordan Russian Electronics Systems Co (JRESCO) revealed the development of Hashim as a new 105 mm rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher system. JRESCO is a joint venture between the KADDB and Russia's Rosboronexport.

In a recent news story, the Arabic version of CNN reported that Hashim RPG-32 represents one of the security threats for the United States of America, together with other ballistic missiles which can destroy all types of military tanks. The Hashim RPG-32 is the result of cooperation between Jordanian and Russian engineers, CNN stated.

======================================

Description

The RPG-32 multipurpose grenade launcher consists of a short, reusable launcher tube with grips, firing controls and sight mount, detachable collimating sight and disposable ammunition containers, which are pre-loaded at the factory and attached to the rear end of the launcher before firing.

History

The RPG-32 multipurpose grenade launcher was developed between 2005 and 2007 by Russian state-owned FGUP 'Bazalt' organization on request and under contract from Jordan and Mexico. After the first RPG-32 'Hashim' grenade launchers are delivered from and in 2008, the mass production of RPG-32 and its ammunition are expected to commence in Jordan and Mexico under license. The Brazilian government has selected the RPG-32 as the replacement for RPG-29s currently in service with the Brazilian armed forces and in 2008 the Brazilian defence conglomorate Avibras signed a contract with Bazalt to manufacture a special tailored version for the Brazilian military. In Argentina the RPG-32 will be manufacture by state-owned "FMFLB" for the Argentine Army and Marines.

May be not a direct threat to America but for sure to American baby Israel. \

US classifies all portable missile and SAM systems as a threat. Remember the pressure on Pakistan to return the surplus stingers?

That's because a decades old tech stinger can shoot down a passenger plane, considering the rugged terrain lets say, in places like Peshawar, Rawalpinidi, Quetta in Pakistan.

Diplomat planes can be shot down easily.




.....though, everything is a threat to USA nowadays. Even the IT professionals in India/Pakistan.

They have alot of Israeli tanks and bulldozers to deal with.
